sacred work, indeed

Holy Week. Even as I read the extra Scriptures and daily devotionals, and even as I meditate on this week and the historical and spiritual happenings that occurred  over 2,000 years ago... remembering the time my  Lord Christ Jesus went to the cross... I also continue on with the spring cleaning of my home that this time of year demands.  Deep cleaning the home and mindful of His redemptive work, a sinner saved by His grace. I worship and I discover immense sacredness in the spring cleaning. 

Since family and friends will gather here to celebrate this weekend, the screened porch needed to be cleaned. Look at the pollen! It coated everything with a thick layer. What a mess.

I removed the wicker furniture and hosed it all down. All this was done all by myself...solomente. I was very tired by the end of the day with all the furniture hauling and scrubbing and such.
The sitting/eating side of the porch was cleaned the next day. Of course, the pollen is still with us, but not to the point it has been thankfully .
I set up a little table..tea for two. Just because it invites.



while the peaches preserve...
